Vaults are barrel-shaped cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein particles that are composed of a major vault protein (MVP), two minor vault proteins [telomerase-associated protein 1 (TEP1), vault poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (VPARP)] and small untranslated RNA molecules. Not all expressed TEP1 and VPARP in cells is bound to vaults. TEP1 is known to associate with the telomerase complex, whereas VPARP is ...

In this paper the authors analysed four single-layered braced barrel vaults with different types of bracing. Each vault covered area 20 m × 28 and was made from steel hollow sections. The static-strength analyses structures were conducted using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis program, taking into account self-weight, glass cover, snow load wind load. case load, pressure perpendicular to long...

Abstract. In this paper the effectiveness of application a hemp biocomposite reinforcement at extrados masonry barrel vault was investigated. To aim, two specimens unreinforced (UV) and reinforced (RV) vaults were built having same geometry with brickwork material subjected to shaking table seismic tests. The comparison dynamic behavior between carried out by increasing intensity input, which s...

Vaults are evolutionary highly conserved ribonucleoproteins particles with a hollow barrel-like structure. The main component of vaults represents the 110 kDa major vault protein (MVP), whereas two minor vaults proteins comprise the 193 kDa vault poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (vPARP) and the 240 kDa telomerase-associated protein-1 (TEP-1). Additionally, at least one small and untranslated RNA is ...

Vaults are 13 million Da ribonucleoprotein particles with a highly conserved structure. Expression and assembly by multimerization of an estimated 96 copies of a single protein, termed the major vault protein (MVP), is sufficient to form the minimal structure and entire exterior shell of the barrel-shaped vault particle. Multiple copies of two additional proteins, VPARP and TEP1, and a small un...

Changes in dynamic properties of structures indicate occurrence of damages in the structures. In this paper, a new two stage algorithm for damage detection of large structure is introduced. A modified Residual Force Method is utilized to locate the damage regions in structures, especially barrel vaults, and then the enhanced Charged System Search (CSS) Algorithm is used to quantify the amount o...

The present work presents and discusses an analysis of the floor types Villa Diomedes (Pompeii archaeological park in Campania region, Italy) from architectural, archaeological, structural point view. In particular, geometrical-structural parameters different rules used by ancient builders to design them are investigated means interdisciplinary research. links between assumptions, archival sour...
